The passing of the family patriarch when I was 13 meant extra responsibilities were thrust onto the children. It became our urgent responsibility to succeed in education, get good jobs, and support the family. Growing up, that was my aim: to work hard and succeed.

My friends and colleagues who are accountants often tell me that their passion for numbers and finance drove them to take up accountancy. Honestly, my driving force was different. I chose accountancy because it seemed like the best route for someone like me to land a well-paying job. In short, I chose accountancy for the opportunities and income it promised.

I chose ACCA because it offered opportunities to everyone, regardless of background. ACCA held true to what it preached and gave me the chance I needed. I firmly believe in this philosophy to this day. That’s why I’m so proud to serve on the Council. I’m happy that opportunity remains a big part of ACCA’s purpose, and I know it always will be.

My dad once said, 'I wanted to see you as a professional accountant”. But I always thought that this career didn’t suit me. I deeply regret the times I argued with him and being a stubborn little daughter, refusing to see his vision for me.

I failed exams, trying to prove him wrong, until he eventually given up on me. To my dad, who is no longer with us, and to my family: Thank you for guiding me towards the path of studying ACCA. Dad, your strong belief in my potential as a professional accountant continues to inspire and drive me, even in your absence.

This is the best picture I found of you, as you rarely took photos, but rest assured, I carry your wisdom and encouragement in my heart every day. I now understand that you were always right and only wanted what was best for me.

Now, I’ve finally made it. How I wish you were here to see this and celebrate it with me. But I am sure you’re watching from above, feeling proud.

To my family, your love and support have been my strength. Together, we’ve made this journey possible.

Thank you, always.

The ACCA qualification has not only equipped me with the technical skills and knowledge needed in the accounting field but has also provided me with a globally recognised platform to build a successful career.

I would also like to express my gratitude to my boss and mentor, Paul Tan, whose strong support was invaluable to my ACCA journey. He encouraged and sponsored me to pursue this very prestigious qualification. It was very challenging, but without ACCA, I could not have fulfilled my dream of being a public accountant, and I am proud to be part of such a prestigious community.

I am taking some time now to reflect on the good old days. I remember starting my ACCA journey right after completing my degree, with a few exemptions. My parents were my biggest supporters. My dad once shared that it was his dream to earn the ACCA qualification, but life took him in a different direction, and he didn't pursue it further.

I am grateful to have fulfilled his dream by obtaining this credential, and to this day, I let him keep my original certificate because I know it is in safe hands.

I recall it wasn’t an easy journey, but once I embarked on the ACCA path, I was fortunate to meet many like-minded, driven individuals who shared the commitment to passing those challenging exams and subsequently perseverance in the career.

ACCA has opened many doors for me, thanks to its global recognition and extensive network. It has allowed me to connect with great people and access numerous valuable platforms and opportunities. I am always proud to introduce myself as an ACCA member.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my family, especially my mom and dad, who encouraged me during my early days when I felt lost. Without their support, I would not be where I am today as an ACCA member.

Once again, thank you so much, ACCA, for being a significant part of my life journey. I wish the organization continued growth and success, reaching even greater heights.

Deepest appreciation to ACCA Singapore 88th Anniversary. It has been 20 years since I have with ACCA since year 2004, ACCA focuses on accounting professional and practicability. As the whole business world is changing rapidly, the related finance and accounting sectors also need to be response to it. Thanks to ACCA, all the ACCA subjects reflect the changing of business world. I have learnt to be practical and thinking logically when I face all the different kinds of problems in my working life.

I have to thank my parents who support me during my studying overseas as a full time ACCA student. A lot of my classmates stopped studying when they achieved ACCA part 2 but my parents encouraged me to keep studying until I finalised all the exam papers.

I also need to thank my lecturer Mr Denial Chee who taught my audit paper since I was a CAT student until my advance audit assurance paper. He is such a great lecturer who turned the boring audit paper into a humorous subject.

It’s a great time to be with ACCA from studying time until now and in the future.

Thank you very much!

As a mother of two young kids, working full-time and husband stationed overseas, I persued my ACCA qualification 27 years ago.

It was tough and challenging, and passing the exam seemed impossible at some point in time when the tough were getting tougher. Never thought of giving up, as I knew ACCA can change my life and enhance my living. I managed to call myself an ACCA three years later, graduated as the top Singapore student in paper 12, and the rest is history.

I really appreciate those who have participated in my ACCA journey.

My boss (Ms Toh Lay Kuan), let me take extra time off to study. My family, accepted and forgave the ever busy and absent mother and wife. My extended family, helped to take care of my kids so that I could have peace of mind to attend classes.....thanks.

And of course, thanks to ACCA for providing an alternate opportunity to me and so many other ACCAs.

ACCA, think ahead.

I have to thank my kind brother for introducing ACCA to me. He was about to start the journey and asked whether I wanted to join him on this accounting marathon. I said, "Why not? There is no harm in getting a qualified global accounting certification." It was an arduous and challenging journey, especially since I had to self-study the last few papers when I was based in China.

In hindsight, I grew to appreciate the program's rigour as it prepared me for the working world, where “tests” and “exams” are conducted daily in meetings and discussions. Familiarity with the subject and a strong accounting foundation helped me "pass” these daily occurrences.

Thank you, ACCA, for providing that strong foundation and the connections for a lifelong journey.

I started ACCA simply because I believe every business would need an accountant.

More importantly I will definitely find a job after graduation and build my wealth over time. True enough I was able to quickly find a job as a junior audit & account assistant while pursuing the ACCA qualification. Compared to my peers I completed my qualification faster given the flexibility that the ACCA qualification offers. Of course, that is provided I passed in one seating for every examination. I am immensely grateful to the support from my then boyfriend who supported my journey ferrying me home after classes with his two legs.

Over the years with the ACCA qualification, I have continued to stay employed and relevant, more importantly with stable income growth. I am grateful to the ACCA qualification for the opportunities opened to me. I am also grateful to the mentors whom I've met along the way over the years in my career.

There is this proverb “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together” ACCA will always be there for us.

Happy Anniversary ACCA and many more years to come.

Three decades have flown by since I embarked on my journey with ACCA. It's been a remarkable ride marked by vibrant experiences and unwavering support.

ACCA provided the bedrock for a diverse and fulfilling career across various industries. It secured my employability, fostered financial stability, and allowed me to build a beautiful family – the things that make life truly colourful.

My journey wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support system around me.

Thank you to the dedicated lecturers, trainers, and the ACCA team, especially the Singapore branch. Their tireless efforts and belief in us fueled our success.

My family, including my wife and ex-wife, deserve immense gratitude. Their encouragement during those late-night study sessions, sacrificed weekends, and unwavering love were the pillars of my determination.

The credit for ACCA's success extends beyond my personal experience.

I'm incredibly grateful to the ACCA Team for working with various professional bodies, institutions, organisations, and universities to ensure access to continuous learning. This dedication keeps the accounting profession evolving and thriving.

Finally, a huge thank you to all esteemed members and friends who continue to elevate ACCA's reputation as a respected and trusted qualification.

Celebrating 88 Years of ACCA: A Personal Journey of Gratitude

As ACCA celebrates its 88th anniversary, I find myself reflecting on my journey and the profound impact this institution has had on my life. In 2008, the world was in the grip of a financial crisis. My parents were facing significant financial difficulties. I had no relevant degree, no clear path forward, and the future seemed uncertain.

But then, I found ACCA.

ACCA didn’t just offer me a qualification; it provided me with a lifeline. The knowledge and skills I gained gave me the tools to navigate the challenging financial landscape and, more importantly, to help my parents overcome the difficulties we faced. Without ACCA, I would not have been able to contribute to my family’s recovery, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

This journey wasn’t mine alone. I owe a special thanks to my parents, whose unwavering support kept me going even when the road was rough. Their belief in me gave me the strength to pursue this path, and I dedicate this achievement to them.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible camaraderie of my ACCA classmates. Together, we shared the highs and lows, the late-night study sessions, and the moments of doubt. Our bond was more than just friendship; it was a mutual understanding of the challenges we faced and a collective determination to succeed.

ACCA didn’t just change my life; it shaped my future, enabling me to support those I love. For that, I will always be thankful.

Thank you, ACCA, for being the beacon of hope during one of the darkest times in my life. And thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey with me.

On this momentous occasion of ACCA 88th anniversary, I extend my deepest gratitude and heartfelt congratulations to the entire ACCA family.

ACCA has not only been a beacon of excellence in the field of accountancy but has also played a pivotal role in my personal and professional journey. Transitioning from an engineer to an accountant was a significant milestone in my life, and ACCA provided the knowledge, support, and opportunities that made this transformation possible.

Moreover, my ACCA journey has been incredibly special as it led me to meet my wonderful wife, Lay Lay. The friendships and connections formed during this time have enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined. I fondly remember the countless hours we spent studying for ACCA exams in the library, supporting and motivating each other through every challenge.

Thank you, ACCA, for being a cornerstone of my career and personal growth. Here’s to many more years of success, innovation, and community!

My 20s were a whirlwind of balancing part-time ACCA studies, a full-time audit career, and starting a family.

I vividly remember being pregnant while taking my final exam paper, P7 Advanced Financial Management. I was fortunate to pass it on my first attempt, successfully completing the ACCA program.

ACCA has been the foundation of everything I've achieved today. It opened doors to my dream job and profession, allowing me to grow in ways I never imagined. Without ACCA, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Thank you, ACCA, for being a part of my journey. Happy 88th Anniversary!

After graduating from university, I decided to pursue the ACCA qualification. Ever since secondary school, I’ve heard about ACCA and seen many successful people around me take this path. At first, I was concerned I might not make it through, given how challenging it can be.

I want to give a big shout-out to my ex-colleague, Anand Doshi, who’s also an ACCA member. He managed to complete his ACCA papers quickly through self-study and encouraged and supported me to do the same. Anand is more than just a colleague; he’s a friend who always believed in me and assured me that I could achieve what he did. A special thanks also goes to my work mentor, Rafi, who continually cheers me on and shares positive messages, reminding me that with enough time and effort, I can accomplish anything. Without their support, I wouldn't have come this far.

As we celebrate ACCA Singapore’s 88th anniversary, I want to congratulate everyone who’s been part of this incredible journey. Let’s continue working hard, supporting one another, and striving for excellence!

Kind Regards,

Nicholas Chan,

Since its founding in 1904, ACCA has been a beacon of excellence, guiding countless individuals like myself through the complexities of the accounting world. The support and resources provided by ACCA have been invaluable in my career development, equipping me with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving industry.

ACCA JOURNEY

When I first started my ACCA journey, I was unsure did I make the right choice to juggle work and study at the same time. I constantly shared my challenges and frustrations with my mother.

There were many times I wanted to give up. However, my mother always tried to press me on with her encouragement and motivation. She emphasized that hard work and sincerity truly are the key ingredients in achieving one’s dreams.

My mother cheered me on each time I passed my exam or made advancement in my career.

Eventually, I graduated and attended my ACCA Convocation 1998 Jointly organized by ACCA & Singapore Accountancy Academy at Westin Stamford Hotel.

Shortly after my ACCA graduation, my company recognized my effort, and I received my first promotion in my first job. The experience is indeed unforgettable.

CHOICES IN LIFE

Sometimes I had to make difficult decisions such as switching my comfortable job in corporate as a Head of Department to an Academia role. She made my decision-making process so much easier by advising me to follow my heart.

Subsequently, I took on the role as Head of ACCA & Professional Programme at Singapore Accountancy Academy (SAA).

This was only possible because mother, you made me realize my full potential. I am indeed blessed to be part of many students’ successful Learning Journey.

PASSING THE TORCH

Now being an established and experienced instructor running my own training firm, I am practicing my mother’s words of wisdom to pass the torch of hope and optimism to the next generations of accountants.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge my appreciation to my parents, siblings, friends, teachers as well as Mitchell & his team from ACCA Singapore who have supported and shaped me into the person I am today.

Thank you ACCA for the wonderful opportunities & sweet memories that you have given me all these years.

Journey beyond passing ACCA exams and Happy 88th anniversary!!

# data[].attributes.body
Ever since I embarked on the journey to become an ACCA member, the path has consistently exceeded my expectations. The experience has not only surprised me but also empowered me in numerous ways.

If you ever knew me before, I am a self-claimed “introverted” person who would hide behind the curtains if needed to speak in front of even 10 people. With ACCA, I have gained the confidence to represent myself as a proud ACCA Network Panel member.

Before 2020, I always wondered how to be confident. I used to feel that speaking in public required great courage and constant practice, but I had never gained that confidence. I admired my bosses who could speak so confidently!

I recently attended an NTU workshop, and based on a survey by Eurich, 95% of us believe we know ourselves, but in fact, only 15% really do. Self-awareness is the key to knowing yourself and your identity, and this is a skill that can be developed. That’s where my journey started. I began to know my identity alongside with self-awareness, I had ignited my self-confidence. “You don’t know what you don’t know”.  That’s where you will see possibilities to grow, enhance, and find solutions to your doubts. ACCA has certainly given me this opportunity to know enhance my confidence and understand what the platform can provides. It is more than what you already know. ACCA allows me to participate in many networking sessions, seminars, workshops, and events that challenge me to be out of my comfort zone. As a ACCA representative, I was a Blackline panelist event, spoken about finance sustainability at the ACCA Indonesia Event with BINUS University, and featured in the ACCA AB Magazine. I could never have imagined that such events would be significant milestones in my life, making me extraordinary from my perspective – “ah-ha moment”. I have met so many people that shared their amazing stories and experiences that have contributed me to see from a even broader spectrum of reality and its mind-blowing how little did I know and how much more can I learn from it.

I would never be in this new milestone if I hadn’t taken the step to develop self-awareness, know my identity, to be part of ACCA Network Panel Member. If you have a perspective that ACCA is just an exam/course/title, look again at what you can achieve beyond it and see the possibilities of what ACA can do. With ACCA, there’s a great resources, networks and connections available to assist your journey and career, wider than you can imagine. Great appreciation and thank you to all my ACCA team, network panels, bosses at Nexia, colleagues, team members, friends, and last but not least, my family, who were the key supporters that gave me ACCA to kick off my entire journey until today.~ ~Happy 88th Anniversary ACCA~~

My heartfelt appreciation for all your presence in my life,

With Love and Support, anything is Possible: My ACCA Story

# data[].attributes.body
Upon finishing secondary school, I was uncertain about my future. My parents guided me towards business studies, introducing me to accounting. Despite initial doubts, I found myself captivated by the subject as I progressed. This newfound passion led me to complete the Advanced Diploma in Accounting, setting me on the path to pursuing ACCA.

Pursuing part-time studies, I reached ACCA Level 3, just two papers shy of certification. Yet, I wavered, contemplating a transition to the workforce. But my life took a turn for the better when my then-boyfriend, now husband, entered the picture. His encouragement and support knew no bounds; he even waited for me outside the exam hall for three hours. The day we opened the letter containing my results was a nerve-wracking experience, but our collective anxiety turned to jubilation – I had passed!

Throughout my ACCA journey, my husband has been an unshakeable pillar of support. His love, encouragement, and understanding have been instrumental in my achievements. I am forever grateful for his presence in my life and couldn't have achieved my goals without him. He is the wind beneath my wings, and I am blessed to share this journey with him.

The dreaded A level results was a sea of Red. "What are we going to do with you" he says?

I worked in Dad's office as a costing clerk, every month a container load of Nike shoes came in and I did the costing of each shoe, each model. It was a dreadful time of the month!

He believed that I could be an accountant, a Phil Knight, a great Auditor like Uncle Cecil, afterall, they studied accountancy. ACCA was selected as you could study and work at the same time, select the options at each level, and face the challenge of passing all 4 papers in Level 3.

Yeah Dad, in the last 25 years, I made it as a full 9 years ACCA Global Council member, the first female from Singapore, Chairwoman of ACCA Singapore members Network, member of ACCA's Global Forum in Taxation, Business Law, Qualifications Board, Nomination Committee, International Assembly member etc meeting and inspiring other ACCA members from around the world. THANK YOU Dad!

THANK YOU ACCA! Happy 88 years !!

During my formative years, my parents are the world to me. They are my rock, my fortress, my strength, my place of safety. Coming from the small town of Batu Pahat in Johor, Malaysia, they supported me unconditionally through my ups and downs, my educational and career choices.

I still remember the days when I had to call my dad using public coin phones for him to open the ACCA envelope and read out my exam results over the phone, because these letters had to be sent to my permanent address in my hometown, while I studied & worked in Kuala Lumpur and did not really have a permanent address.

When I attended the ACCA graduation ceremony in May 1997, I was very glad to share my joy with my parents and loved ones. Shortly after that, the Asian Financial Crisis ravaged the economies. Through the economic storms and depression, the ACCA qualification remains my strong foundation, opening doors and creating opportunities.

This remains true to this day. I want to wish a loving and grateful thank you to my parents, wife & boys, siblings and the ACCA friends and communities whom I am blessed with. Without you I will not be where I am today.

To quote a famous Chinese idiom from my boy’s school:

飲水思源 which translates into ‘when drinking water, think of its source’. Remember those who helped you along the way, and honour them by giving back.

Thank you ACCA for positively impacting my life and for the wonderful 88 years in Singapore & Malaysia! The best is yet to be!

A Journey of Love and Support: My ACCA Story

# data[].attributes.body
As I reflect on my ACCA journey, there are two incredible women who deserve my deepest gratitude: my wife and my mother. Being an auditor while juggling work and exams has been nothing short of challenging. Especially during those days when exams were held only twice a year, and I could only take study leave in December. Coincidentally, my exam date often clashed with my birthday, which is on early December. So, every year, instead of celebrating with cake and candles, I found myself spending my birthday with Kaplan textbooks and ACCA past year papers.

But I was never alone. My wife, who was my girlfriend back then, was always by my side. She celebrated my birthday with me in the most unique way—by helping me get through my ACCA exams. I still vividly remember the time when I was about to take my last paper, Singapore Advanced Taxation. I felt so unprepared that I told her I didn’t want to waste money on the exam enrollment. But as always, she encouraged me to give it a shot. Her unwavering support pushed me to take the exam, and when I passed, I was so overwhelmed with emotion. That moment was unforgettable. I was on an overseas audit business trip when I saw the results, and I immediately booked a flight for her to join me and celebrate.

As for my mother, I owe her just as much. Every night during my revision, she would make me a Big Jug of Kopi-O that could last me the whole night. She would always tell me not to study too hard, worrying that I might ki-siao (go crazy) from the pressure of balancing work and exams. I don’t know where on earth you can find such a lovely mother who tells her kid not to study too hard—it’s almost funny, but it shows how much she cared.

These two amazing women have been my pillars of strength throughout my ACCA journey. Without their love, support, and encouragement, I wouldn’t have made it this far. I’m truly grateful to have them by my side.
